The new DJ Quik & Kurupt video for 'Hey Playa! (Moroccan Blues)' features CAMELS.

One of the very best summer jams of the year, too.

The interesting thing about that is that it isn't entirely true - I feel like rap was doing well on its own even before a trend to mixing in smoother RnB flavours came to dominate.

But now I think audiences have come to expect it. Indeed rap itself often becoems the decoration inside RnB songs instead of the other way around.

But I'd love to hear the thoughts of someone who listens to way more rap music than I do :).
